SEGMENT #1 - "NewsWrap": Canada's Parliament rejects a major challenge to
the Government's bill to federally open legal marriage to same gender couples,
while the Australian Green Party is pushing for marriage equality Down Under;
in the U.S., the Oregon state Supreme Court invalidates some 3,000 marriages
of gay & lesbian couples last year in Multnomah County [with comments by lead
plaintiff MARY LI], while Connecticut's state House approves a bill to create
Vermont-style civil unions -- albeit with a rider defining marriage as
hetero-exclusive -- but the South Carolina Senate approves a constitutional ban on
marriage equality previously passed with slightly different language in the
state House ; first-term Minnesota Republican state Senator Paul Koering and now
former Lawrence, Kansas mayor Mike Rundle each identify themselves as gay men,
while openly gay Nichi Vendola is elected to the presidency of the Italian
state of Puglia; Catalonia becomes the fourth Spanish state to open adoptions
to same gender couples; in Fiji, an Australian tourist and his local sex
partner are released on bail while appealing their two-year prison sentences for
consensual sodomy; and the annual "Day of Silence" across U.S. school campuses
is challenged this year by a rightwing Christian group's "Day of Truth"
(written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks to Graham Underhill, Rex Wockner, Robert
Jefferson/KBOO-Portland, Oregon, Adrienne Wilson/KLCC-Salem, Oregon, and Greg
Gordon, and reported this week by CINDY FRIEDMAN & RICK WATTS) . . . . . . . . .

SEGMENT #2 - The actors have packed their belongings and scattered. The
Toronto production offices have shut down for good. And the new sign of the
times for the demise of a cultural icon has already appeared -- the props and c
ostumes are beginning to pop up on eBay. Although the fifth and final season has
just begun to air on the Showtime Cable Network, it's time to start bidding
"QUEER AS FOLK" adieu. This Way Out's STEVE PRIDE takes a fond look at the TV
show's revolutionary run (with music from the U.S. incarnation, clips from
both the British and U.S. versions, and comments by original British series
creator RUSSEL T. DAVIS, U.S. version creators RON COWEN & DANIEL LIPMAN, Showtime
Network Entertainment President ROBERT GREENBLATT, HAL "Michael Novotny"
SPARKS, HARRIS "Hunter Montgomery" ALLAN, SHARON "Debbie Novotny" GLESS, THEA
"Lindsay Peterson" GILL, SCOTT "Ted Schmidt" LOWELL, PETER "Emmett Honeycutt"
PAIGE, and ROBERT "Ben Bruckner" GANT, with a :05 "TWO" I.D. at 8:25 into the
segment by MITCH "Cody Bell" MORRIS) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15:35
